Chicken Enchilada Soup

It's dinner time and your just not sure what you want to make. I'm thinking something
light like soup. Today I'm going to share a quick and easy way to make chicken enchilada soup.
You can make different variations of this soup and just be creative. This is what I had on hand
in the freezer and the cupboard to make this soup.

Chicken Enchilada Soup

Ingredients:
1can chicken(I used white meat)
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables( I used green beans, peas, corn and carrots)
1 packet cheesy taco mix
1 packet enchilada sauce
1/4 cup of chicken bouillon
1 can chopped potatoes(drained)
salt & pepper (to taste)
4 cups water

shredded cheese (optional)
salsa or salsa Verde (optional)

For thickening
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water

In  a large pan place water then add the packets of seasoning and bouillon mix well. Then add the rest of the ingredients in pan and stir. Cook on high heat until boiling. Then in a cup or small bowl add the flour and water. Mix till lumps are out. Then slowly add to boiling soup, stirring while you pour to thicken to your liking. Boil for another 5 minutes. Then adjust to taste if needed.

You can serve this in a soup bowl and garnish with a tablespoon of salsa Verde and sprinkle of shredded cheese. You can even try the fried tortilla shell toppings for a garnish on top of the soup.
Everything should take under 45 minutes.

Remember have fun and make it yours.

And that's the dish for today!
